java 实现判断某天是星期几

首先对SimpleDateFormat有所了解，以下摘自java-doc中

Letter Date or Time Component Presentation Examples
G Era designator Text AD
y Year Year 1996; 96
M Month in year Month July; Jul; 07
w Week in year Number 27
W Week in month Number 2
D Day in year Number 189
d Day in month Number 10
F Day of week in month Number 2
E Day in week Text Tuesday; Tue
a Am/pm marker Text PM
H Hour in day (0-23) Number 0
k Hour in day (1-24) Number 24
K Hour in am/pm (0-11) Number 0
h Hour in am/pm (1-12) Number 12
m Minute in hour Number 30
s Second in minute Number 55
S Millisecond Number 978
z Time zone General time zone Pacific Standard Time; PST; GMT-08:00
Z Time zone RFC 822 time zone -0800

对中国人来说，普遍使用的是"yyyy-MM-dd"。

//	实现给定某日期，判断是星期几
	 public static String getWeekday(String date){//必须yyyy-MM-dd
		SimpleDateFormat sd = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");  
        SimpleDateFormat sdw = new SimpleDateFormat("E");  
        Date d = null;  
        try {  
            d = sd.parse(date);  
        } catch (ParseException e) {  
            e.printStackTrace();  
        }
        return sdw.format(d);
	 }
